DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

Cristobal was located near latitude 34.8 North, longitude 92.4 West.

north-northeast over the next 48 hours.

Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours as
Cristobal transitions into an extratropical cyclone.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Gusty winds are expected Tuesday night and Wednesday over
portions of the Midwest and western Great Lakes as Cristobal
strengthens as an extratropical low.

RAINFALL: Cristobal will produce storm total rainfall accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches with local amounts to 6 inches from Arkansas to
the western Great Lakes through Wednesday morning.  This rainfall
may produce flash flooding, and is forecast to produce isolated
significant river flooding across portions of the central Gulf
Coast into the Lower Mississippi Valley.  Smaller streams across
southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi have begun to rise and
are forecast to crest mid-week.  New and renewed significant river
flooding is possible across the Mid and Upper Mississippi Valley.
